“…Meanwhile, when considering, both growth rate (final mean weight) and FCR of Nile tilapia, O. niloticus juveniles, it was clear that feeding fish twice a day at 80% of satiation level had resulted in the highest economic return on investment. On the other hand, Velasco et al (2000), Smith et al (2002) and Carvalho and Nunes (2006) found no direct relation between these two factors (dietary protein levels and feeding frequencies). Irrespective of the polyculture system, 35% dietary protein obtained the optimum growth indices and better FCR for Nile tilapia fry (Table 2).…”

ABSTRACTn 84-day experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of two dietary protein levels 30 & 35% CP & three feeding frequencies 2, 3 & 4 times a day (8:0 and 11.0 h), (8.0, 11.0 and 14.0 h) and (8.0, 11.0, 14.0 and 17.0 h) on growth performance and feed utilization of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii with the Nile tilapia, Oreochromuis niloticus fry in a polyculture system. The experiment was conducted in small-scale hapas, 3.75 m -3 each in triplicates. Irrespective of polyculture system, prawn PL fed diet containing 35% CP 4 times a day had significant (P≤0.05) the highest final body weight (FBW), weight gain (WG), specific growth rate(SGR) and best feed conversion ratio (FCR) values among all treatments. Meanwhile, the Nile tilapia fed on diet containing 35% CP at 2 times/day recorded the highest significant FBW, WG, and best FCR among all treatments. The highest significant total biomass weight (kg hapa -1 ), and gain (kg hapa -1 ) and feed consumption (kg hapa -1 ) were obtained for prawn and tilapia feed the diet containing 35% protein. No significant differences (P≤0.05) were observed for SGR, FCR and S among all experimental hapas. The same trend was recorded for the different feeding frequencies.The highest values of the whole body CP, EE, ash and gross energy content were recorded for prawn fed on 30% diet at twice per day. No clear trend was observed for body composition of the Nile tilapia fry except for the highest lipid content (P ≤ 0.05) recorded for the fish fed on 30% CP diet 2 times per day. The findings of the current trials revealed that, feeding frequency has a great effect on growth performance and feed utilization efficiency of the freshwater prawn M. rosenbergii PL and the Nile tilapia fry. Feeding frequency 4 times per day for M. rosenbergii PL either 2 or 3 times per day for Nile tilapia fry is recommended under similar rearing condition to achieve best performance for both animals.

“…Our diet remained intact in water for about 3 h, after which it lost 14.74% of its dry matter. In the study of Smith et al (2002), the shrimp pellet used for feeding P. monodon remained intact for 4 h and dry matter leach loss was 12% during this period. Therefore, it may be reasonable to assume that one of the reasons for poorer performance we obtained in our study as compared to that reported by Seidman and Issar (1988) at high stocking densities (30-50 per m 2 ) might be due to incomplete content or nutrient leach-loss of the feed.…”

“…The samples were kept in the water (5-L in each container), which was continuously aerated for periods of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 h. At the end of the immersion periods, the samples were removed onto 50-µm mesh rinsed with distilled water and dried at 105ºC until constant weight (Smith et al, 2002).…”

Growth performance of Penaeus semisulcatus under semi-intensive and intensive systems in pond/tank culture conditions with pre-seasonally or over-wintered animals was studied in sub-tropical climate conditions of Turkey. In Pond A, the pre-seasonally produced post-larvae (PL) grew linearly from 0.2 g to 22.6 g in 140 days (Y = 0.19 X-2.69; R 2 = 0.97) with DGR (daily growth rate) of 0.06 g day -1. In Pond B, the over-wintered juveniles grew from 3.8 g to 30.5 g with DGR of 0.41 g during the first 30 days (weight gain of 14.42 g) and 0.13 g between 30 and 140 days (weight gain of 14.32 g). Regression equation for growth was calculated to be Y = 9.62 Log (X) + 4.51 (R 2 = 0.99). Compensatory growth due to starvation or over-winter fasting has, for the first time, been demonstrated in this penaeid shrimp species in the present study. Food deprivation during the winter months resulted in growth compensation after refeeding under appropriate culture conditions. During the compensatory growth period (first month after re-feeding), the shrimps gained an average weight of 2.87 g week -1, but after this period, growth rate declined to 0.91 g week -1 (over three-fold less) for the rest of the growth period (between 2 nd and 5 th months). This preliminary finding is a promising area on which studies should be focused on, as fasting and re-feeding strategy at low temperature can provide a chance to increase marketable size of shrimps or to even produce two crops per year in the sub-tropics. The shrimps (0.2 g) reached to 13.7 g at 30 PL per m 2 (DGR 0.10 g), 6.44-7.37 g (DGR 0.05 g) at 40-50 PL per m 2 in 140 days. The estimated yields were 880-1,150 kg ha -1 in semi-intensive ponds and 1,597-2,673 kg ha -1 in intensive ponds. The shrimps grown in concrete Tanks displayed even poorer growth performance resulting in only 879 kg and 793 kg ha -1 of yield.Keywords: Penaeus semisulcatus, grow-out, over-wintering, growth, feed conversion rate. Yarı-tropik Koşullarda Kışlatılmış ve Mevsim-öncesinde Üretilmiş Olan Penaeus semisulcatus Postlarvalarında Büyüme ÖzetTürkiye'nin yarı-tropik iklim şartlarında, kışlatılmış veya mevsim-öncesinde üretilmiş olan Penaeus semisulcatus'un yarı-entansif ve entansif sistemlerdeki havuz/tank kültür koşullarında büyüme performansı çalışılmıştır. A Havuzunda, mevsim-öncesinde üretilen post-larvalar (PL) 0,06 g günlük büyüme oranıyla (GBO), 140 günde, 0,2 g'dan 22,6 g'a kadar doğrusal bir şekilde büyümüştür (Y = 0.19X-2,69; R 2 = 0,97). B Havuzunda, kışlatılmış yavrular ilk 30 gün içerisinde 0.41 g GBO ile (14,42 g'lık canlı ağırlık kazancı) ve 30. ile 140. günler arasında ise 0,13 g GBO ile (14,32 g canlı ağırlık kazancı) 3,8 g'dan 30,5 g'a kadar ulaşmışlardır. Bu grup için regresyon büyüme eşitliği Y = 9,62 Log (X) + 4,51 (R 2 = 0,99) olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu çalışma, bu penaeid karides türünde kışlatma periyodu esnasındaki açlığın telafi büyüme üzerine olan etkisini ilk kez ortaya koymuştur. Kış aylarındaki yem kısıntısı ve ardından uygun yetiştiricilik koşulları ve yeniden besleme telaf...

“…Apart from being an unnecessary expense, unconsumed feed contributes to the deterioration of pond water quality when subjected to microbial activity (Focken et al, 1998). Therefore, efforts to improve feeding strategies and water quality must focus on both optimizing production and minimizing waste (Smith et al, 2002;Soundarapandian et al, 2009).…”

We quantify the total water use (TWU) and consumptive water use index (CWUI) in grow-out culture of Penaeus monodon at different water and feeding management protocols using the water balance equation. Under two different water management protocols, treatment-wise TWU, was 2.09 and 2.43 ha-m 122 d -1 in T 1 (no water exchange) and T 2 (water exchange on 'requirement' basis depending on water quality), respectively. The computed CWUI (m 3 kg -1 biomass), was 5.35 and 6.02 in T 1 and T 2 , respectively. Lower rates of water exchange (T 2 ) showed significantly improved water quality, crop performance and productivity over the zero water exchange protocol. Similarly, under three different feed management protocols, treatment-wise estimated TWU was 2.52, 2.44 and 2.41 ha-m 119d -1 , while the computed CWUI was 7.28, 6.88 and 6.34 in T 1 (Regular feeding, 4-times a day), T 2 (2-weeks feeding followed by 1-week no feed) and T 3 (4-weeks feeding followed by 1-week no feed), respectively. Higher the feed input, higher was the TWU and CWUI. It was also recorded that longer the refeeding period, higher was the growth performance and yield as in the case of T 3 . This feeding practice also helped in lowering the feed input (7.5% in T 2 and 5.5% in T 3 ), thus minimizes the input cost and improve production efficiency.
